""The three approved casinos will generate billions of dollars for the MTA and education, create tens of thousands of jobs and deliver real benefits to their surrounding communities," Governor Kathy Hochul said in an official statement. "Each of the projects made significant commitments to their communities and to New York State, and the Gaming Commission was clear that they will hold these projects accountable and make sure they keep their promises. That is what New Yorkers expect and what they deserve.""
"Yesterday, New York's State Gaming Commission made it official: three full-scale casino sites, two in Queens and one in the Bronx, have been granted licenses to be built and operate. The approved projects include Hard Rock and Mets owner Steve Cohen's sprawling complex next to Citi Field and Resorts World's proposal near JFK Airport in Queens, as well as Bally's project in the Bronx, on a former golf course owned by President Donald Trump."
The New York State Gaming Commission approved licenses for three full-scale casino sites in New York City: two in Queens and one in the Bronx. Approved projects include Hard Rock and Mets owner Steve Cohen's complex adjacent to Citi Field, Resorts World's proposal near JFK Airport in Queens, and Bally's project on a former golf course in the Bronx owned by President Donald Trump. JAY-Z's proposed Times Square casino did not receive a license. Governor Kathy Hochul said the casinos will generate billions for the MTA and education and create tens of thousands of jobs. A 2013 constitutional amendment allowed up to seven casinos statewide, with up to three reserved for New York City; four upstate casinos had already been approved.
